Living In God's Reality

"My dear children let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love. This is the only way we'll know we are living truly, living in God's reality. It's also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it.  For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves. And friends, once that's taken care of and we're no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we are bold and free before God!  We are able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we are doing what he said, doing what pleases him....He told us to love each other, in line with the original command..."  The Message John 3:18-24
